A Hollywood movie was met with an awkward situation last Saturday in China. While fans are standing in long queues to watch the first show, others are advocating a boycott(抵制)on the American movie with Chinese story elements.

  After "Kung Fu Panda", a cartoon movie telling about a panda’s Kung Fu master journey, hit China’s silver screens in 2008, its sequel (续集), Kung Fu Panda 2, was released in China just ahead of International Children’s Day, adding more Chinese elements such as shadow play (皮影戏) and lion dancing.

  However, some Chinese artists and scholars argue that the movie has twisted (扭曲) Chinese culture and serves as a tool to "kidnap (绑架)" the mind of the Chinese people.

  “Children’s Day should be pure. Don’t turn it into a money-making day for Hollywood, and don’ t fool our next generation with American fast food,” according to an open letter to Chinese cinema managers written by Zhao Bandi, an artist hoping to boycott the “Americanized” movie. His move is backed by Kong Qingdong, a professor of the Chinese language in Beijing University, who said Chinese elements have become advertising products to advocate American culture. "It is a cultural invasion," said Kong.

  In the movie, the main character called “Po,” a panda, is talkative, humorous, lovely, and is widely believed to be a typical American figure.

  However, the panda has won millions of fans in China. On China’s most popular website, comments on the movie reached nearly 270 million entries.

  “I won’t call it a cultural invasion,” said Li Jiayi, a Beijing university student. “I see nothing bad for others to use our cultural elements to make a movie. I’ m a huge fan of Po. In spite of being a cartoon, it is still loved by many adults like me,” said the 25-year-old after watching the first show at midnight.

  Cao Hui, general manager of Shenzhen Global Digital Creations company, said: “instead of a

‘boycott’, movie producers should learn from the movie to make better use of Chinese story elements. Technically, Kung Fu Panda is not more advanced than Chinese movies, but as for story telling skills, Chinese movies have a long way to go”.

1.Some artists and scholars are against "Kung Fu Panda" because they think_____.

A. it has added too many Chinese elements

B. it has ruined Chinese image deliberately

C. it is an exact copy of Chinese culture

D. it is advertising American culture

2.What does the underlined word “backed” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. supported       B. criticized       C. released        D. resisted

3.This passage can be classified as _________.

A. an advertisement   B. a feature story  C. a news report      D. a film review

  Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up(入伍)papers.Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force(RAF).

  His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk.It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate(地产)when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.

  “Thought you’d forgotten that nonsense.Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army…”

  “No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly.What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy-at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm.But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let’s leave it at that.” His face went red.Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.

  The father glared at Stephen, “No, I won't leave it at that.I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head.For a start, what’s all this about America?”

  “America?”

  “Yes.All those books I saw in your room the other day.Brochures about emigration(移民).”

  “I won’t, Father.Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it.They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research-the sort of research I could do.It would be a worthwhile life for me.”

  The father responded exactly as his son had known he would.You've got a worthwhile life here! You’ve got an estate to run! ”

  “No, Father.You’ve got an estate to run.I never asked for it.Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I…”

  “If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours-only think about it, mind you but…”
